Percutaneous spinal fusion for traumatic spine fracture or osteoporotic compression fracture

Patients with spine deformity, spine fractures, or osteoporotic compression fractures have a less invasive option of surgically treating their problem by minimally invasive spine fusion. Watch this high def video of a surgery performed my Jeffrey J. Larson, M.D. in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

The video shows minimally invasive percutaneous instrumentation and fusion to repair a traumatic fracture. The same technique may be applied to treat osteoporotic compression fractures that have deformity or are not amenable to techniques such as kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty.

Average blood loss is approximately 50cc. Postp-operative pain is significantly reduced.
